There is a mass grave of the partisans of the Great Patriotic War and a monument to the fallen countrymen in the village.
The estate of the Dashkevich family has been partially preserved. The manor was built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries during the time of the Russian Empire.
The economic palace is wooden, one-storied. Covered by a four-pitched roof. The central part has two floors. In Soviet times, the building was besieged with bricks. In recent years, the house has been covered with siding. A local museum of local lore has now been established in the building.
